Pedra do Baú, Mountain formation in São Bento do Sapucaí, Brazil

The Pedra do Baú rises to 1,950 meters with a vertical rock wall extending 330 meters from its base in the Serra da Mantiqueira range.

The first climb of Pedra do Baú took place in 1940 by the Cortez brothers, followed by the installation of iron steps in 1943 to facilitate access.

The mountain's name comes from indigenous language, translating to 'watchtower' and serves as a reference point for the regional identity of São Paulo state.

Visitors must pay an entrance fee of 18 Brazilian reais and can access the site between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with mandatory safety equipment for climbing.

The complex includes three official trails leading to different peaks: Pedra do Baú, Bauzinho at 1,760 meters, and Ana Chata at 1,670 meters.
